Colorado Mountain Club reports that there has been a great increase in interest and in the number of climbers. They feel that this increase in numbers of less experienced persons accounts in part for the increase in accidents on CMC trips. Because of this interest they have increased the number of trips so that the leader load will be less and in the event of an accident evacuation will be easier. They have a leader training program and feel that this was valuable in the two accidents which did occur this year on CMC trips, since the handling of the injured was excellent.
